Indian fig opuntia

I'd be really interested to know what type of cactus this is, if anyone has any ideas. Although it grows in my garden (which is really just open desert) near Tucson, It's not a native Arizona species. Around here, that often means a Mexican species, though this one never seems to mind the frosts that we get in January and February. It's a big plant (8 feet / 2.4 metres tall). And it's somewhat similar to opuntia ovata, but this one has no spines. The flowers and fruit grow on the face of the pads as well as the edges (as in this shot).

Beavertail cactus, opuntia basilaris. Ciao,Alx

It's similar to opuntia basilaris, but I've never seen a beavertail more than a couple of feet high. Beavertails are native here in southern Arizona and I've never seen this plant in the wild (this one grows near my house and I'm sure someone planted it). Also, I forgot to mention that the flowers on this cactus are orangey yellow (there's a photo of the flower here), and beavertail flowers are pink/red.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Do you have any other thoughts on what it might be?

Opuntia stricta (southern spineless cactus or erect prickly-pear) ? Ciao, Alx

I'm now pretty sure that this is an Indian fig opuntia (opuntia ficus-indica). The fruit looks like other photos I have seen, as do the flowers. It's also the right size (about 10 feet / 3 metres tall) and has smooth, spineless pads, just like the Indian fig opuntia.
